Welcome to War and Tactics! War and Tactics Forum is currently undergoing some modifications that might disable features you are used to. This is unabvoidable as we have to update the forum engine to a new structure that is incompatible with many of the features we had used so far. The good news: WaT will be more secure and stable, and most of the features we uninstalled will be a natural part of the new structure anyway. For the rest we will be looking for solutions.

While festivals are being held to celebrate our freedom a man stabbed 3 people infront of a restaurant.2 bystanders and a man on a bicycle, the wounded have been brought to a nearby hospital, none of them is in direct danger of dying.While doing that the man (dressed in typical islamic clothing) shouted Allah Akhbar.....However according to the police and the meir the 31 year old man (how surprising, a Syrian refugee) was only a mentally disturbed man.Now where did we hear that before......

May 16,New reports showed up with information that the police was warned about possible terrorist actions by the arrested man.Nothing has been done with the report, a human error according to the justice department.meanwhile everybody still speak about a "confused" man which has become a synonime for terrorist actions in the Netherlands.

It was a question of time when we would get hit by serious terrorism.Today at 10.45 a Turkish man opened fire at innocent people inside a tram.He left 3 dead and 6 wounded, 3 of them seriously.The deadly victims are a 19 year old girl, a man aged 29 and a man aged 49. A Soccertrainer and father of 3 children.After his cowardly act he fled in a red Clio.Police reacted quickley, soon the car was found and secured and a house (probably the suspects) was searched.He was arrested by the police around 18.00 after they tracked him when he wired money from his bank account using a friends phone.2 brothers were arrested but have been released by now, a 3rd suspect is still in custody. Its not clear why they have been arrested but they might have helped the killer in some way.All activities for the coming elections have been postponed for the day.Security level rose to 5, which is the highest level.

At several places railway stations, mosques and schools have extra security.
